Timm Ulrichs\u2019 Kunstwerk “Versunkenes Dorf” operiert mit dem Motiv des Doppelg\u00e4ngers. Mit ihm gelingt es dem K\u00fcnstler in hervorragender Weise, auf die Spezifik des Ortes seiner Aufstellung zu verweisen. Im Ma\u00dfstab 1:1 entstand ein augent\u00e4uschendes Duplikat der benachbarten Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche, einer kleinen Dorfkirche aus dem Mittelalter. Der Zwilling erleidet, was auch dem Original h\u00e4tte geschehen k\u00f6nnen: Er ist zu gro\u00dfen Teilen von dem inzwischen begr\u00fcnten M\u00fcllberg versch\u00fcttet.<\/p>\n
Das Werk von Timm Ulrichs reflektiert einf\u00fchlsam die Geschichte der baulichen Ver\u00e4nderungen im M\u00fcnchner Norden. Diese setzten Mitte des letzten Jahrhunderts ein. Lange bevor hier die weltbekannte Allianz-Arena der Architekten Herzog & de Meuron zur Touristenattraktion wurde, ist gleich daneben – an der Stelle des alten Dorfes Fr\u00f6ttmaning (erstmalige Erw\u00e4hnung im Jahre 815) – in den f\u00fcnfziger Jahren eine M\u00fclldeponie errichtet worden. Dem Projekt fiel damals das Dorf mit seinen Bauernh\u00f6fen zum Opfer. Sie wurden abgerissen. Allein die Kirche konnte gerettet werden. Bei ihrer Renovierung im Jahre 1980 entdeckte man wertvolle Wandmalereien aus der Entstehungszeit.<\/p>\n
Mit seiner Architekturskulptur “Versunkenes Dorf” – der Titel zitiert das gleichnamige Gedicht von Friedrich R\u00fcckert aus dem Jahre 1813 – inszeniert Timm Ulrichs ein Untergangspanorama. Der K\u00fcnstler sieht sein Werk als Verlustanzeige und surreal-melancholisches Stimmungsbild. Mit dem untergehenden Doppelg\u00e4nger hat er aber auch ein gro\u00dfartiges Menetekel von eindringlicher Pr\u00e4senz geschaffen, das ebenso spielerisch wie poetisch die Kosten des Fortschritts beschw\u00f6rt.<\/p>\n","werk_artists":[{"ID":1217,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-06-28 16:30:23","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-28 14:30:23","post_content":"1940 geboren in Berlin\r\n1959-66 Architekturstudium an der Technischen Hochschule Hannover\r\n1961 Gr\u00fcndung der \u201eWerbezentrale f\u00fcr Totalkunst & Banalismus\u201c\r\n1972-2005 Professur an der Kunstakademie M\u00fcnster\r\nlebt und arbeitet in Hannover, M\u00fcnster und Berlin\r\n\r\nEinzelausstellungen (Auswahl)\r\n\r\n1970 Museum Haus Lange, Krefeld\r\n1984 Wilhelm-Hack-Museum, Ludwigshafen a.

Timm Ulrichs\u00b4s art piece, Sunken Village, works with the doppelganger as its motif. Through it, the artist brilliantly succeeds in referring to the specifics of the site where the piece is installed. Ulrichs created a visually deceptive, one-to-one scale duplicate of the neighboring Holy Cross Church, a small village church dating from the Middle Ages. The twin suffers through something that could also have happened to the original: most of it is buried in a landfill that is now overgrown with vegetation.<\/p>\n
Ulrichs\u2019s work sensitively reflects the history of architectural changes in northern Munich, which began in the mid-twentieth century. Long before the world-famous Allianz Arena, designed by the architects Herzog & de Meuron, became a tourist attraction here, a landfill was built in the 1950s right next to where the arena now stands, on the site of the old village of Fr\u00f6ttmaning, whose first historical mention is in the year 815. At the time, the village and its farms fell victim to the project. They were all torn down; only the church could be saved. When it was renovated in 1980, precious murals from the time it was built were discovered on its walls.<\/p>\n
With his architectural sculpture Sunken Village \u2014 the title also cites the poem of the same name, written in 1813 by Friedrich R\u00fcckert \u2014 Timm Ulrichs presents a panoply of doom. The artist views his work as an indication of loss, as well as a surreal, melancholy, atmospheric image. But with the sunken doppelganger, he has also created a magnificent portent of a haunting presence that evokes the cost of progress both playfully and poetically.<\/p>\n","werk_collections":[{"ID":7702,"post_author":"5","post_date":"2022-08-02 13:25:19","post_date_gmt":"2022-08-02 11:25:19","post_content":"","post_title":"Public places (selection)","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"oeffentliche-plaetze","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-04-28 16:22:08","post_modified_gmt":"2025-04-28 14:22:08","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/collection\/oeffentliche-plaetze\/","menu_order":8,"post_type":"collection","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"werk_sort_data_artists":"Timm Ulrichs","werk_sort_data_access":"\u00f6ffentlich zug\u00e4nglich","werk_sort_data_year":"2006","werk_sort_data_category":"Architektur\/ Landschaftsarchitektur,Skulptur \/ Plastik","werk_sort_data_district":"Schwabing-Freimann","werk_txt_context":""},"featured_image_src_1280":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/quivid-muenchen-timm-ulrichs-versunkenes-dorf-kunst-am-bau-2006-holzherr-01-1280x1942.jpeg","featured_image_src_768":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/quivid-muenchen-timm-ulrichs-versunkenes-dorf-kunst-am-bau-2006-holzherr-01-768x1165.jpeg","artists":[{"name":"Timm Ulrichs","url":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/artist\/ulrichs-timm\/"}],"tax_category":"Architektur\/ Landschaftsarchitektur, Skulptur \/ Plastik","tax_access":"\u00f6ffentlich zug\u00e4nglich","tax_district":"Schwabing-Freimann","tax_year":2006,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1805","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1805"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1805\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6981,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1805\/revisions\/6981"}],"acf:attachment":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6974"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6980"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6970"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6976"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6972"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist\/1217"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6975"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1805"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1805"},{"taxonomy":"district","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/district?post=1805"},{"taxonomy":"access","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/access?post=1805"},{"taxonomy":"accessibility","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/accessibility?post=1805"},{"taxonomy":"space","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/space?post=1805"},{"taxonomy":"year","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/year?post=1805"},{"taxonomy":"gender","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gender?post=1805"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
